Mercer! Briggs! Mormeck! Rahman!
Mayorga was a an undisputed, unified champ and beat the best pound for pound fighter in the world. If he can string a few wi s together he still has a name and can still sell a fight.
The Klitschko's had to "dig up opponents" because nobody wanted to have to fight them. Povetkin was #1 contender how long? Wlad fights often because he's a professional boxer it is his occupation.
Ricardo Mayorga, amusing as he might be has not been a solid fighter recently. He's been a part timer, much like Haye and he's flirted with MMA....those are signs of someone not taking the sport seriously and he's just looking for a payday.
